Sergio savors overdue triumph

Sergio Garcia captured his first title in almost two years on Sunday when he triumphed in a four-way playoff at the inaugural Ho Tram Open in Vietnam.

The Spaniard regained his composure after blowing a two-shot lead with a double bogey on the 17th hole to defeat India's Himmat Rai, Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant and Lin Wen-tang of Taiwan in a two-hole playoff.

Thaworn and Lin were eliminated after the first extra hole when they could only make par after Garcia drained a 35-foot putt for birdie and Rai matched him with a tap-in from five feet.
